South Florida Commuter Services (SFCS), an FDOT program

Under authority of Chapters 187 and 341, Florida Statutes, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) provides financial and technical assistance to increase awareness of various transportation options to commuters in South Florida and the Treasure Coast. SFCS’ primary activities involve highlighting the benefits of the following:

Carpooling: 2+ people commuting together.

Vanpooling: 5-15 people commuting together in a state-sponsored van or SUV.

Flexible Work Schedules: Working full-time but commuting outside of morning and afternoon rush hours.

Mass Transit: Multiple passengers being transported in various forms of vehicles, usually on regular & dependable schedules to many destinations. Some transit modes are also available on-demand.

Bicycling: One of the healthiest options for getting to one’s destination.

Walking: Healthy option for those who live relatively close to their destinations.

Park & Ride Facilities: A convenient place to meet-up with fellow commuters and leave one’s personal vehicle for the day – usually free or at a nominal cost. They are also places to access premium transit modes.

Guaranteed Ride Home: In the event of an unforeseen circumstance or having to work late unplanned, this program will provide free rides home if the usual transit/carpool/vanpool mode is not available.
